    Round 16

    Just watching the Hawks rip Brisbane to pieces & wonder whehther Voss has lost the plot?

    He is using Matt McGuire in the ruck whilst Leuenberger is off the ground, but incredibly has Mitch Clark in the centre square!


    Good to see 'Saints Footy' at it's best!

    Re: Round 16

    The Saints v Collingwood was a very interesting game.

    Listening to Blighty early in the call, he stated that he thought Collingwood couldn't win it if they continued to go wide. On the radio on the way home this afternoon Richardson was saying how smart the Collingwood ploy to go wide, was.

    He said that it really restricted the Saints ability to create easier scoring opportunities based on turnovers in the corridor. By playing wide, if a turnover did occur it put the Collingwood defence under a lot less pressure.

    Just thought it was a very interesting observation, particularly when paired with the earlier suggestion that they had to play more direct. Certainly on the open expanses of the MCG, against the Saints who love to control the corridor, it seemed like a very good tactic.

    No, I had my doubts a few years back when mjp attended a conference & reported afterwards.

    I reckon it was confirmed in the off season with the way they went about trade week.

    2 upsets and a thrashing by the Hawks sets up an interesting round.

    Not often the top two teams lose in the same round.

    Collingwood winning wasn't much of an upset was it?
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    It certainly upset me I suppose not really but the Saints had a fair bit to play for an it was more the manner in which they lost.

    Will take the Saints a few week to settle now that Riewoldt is back. Missing Dal Santo (good decision maker going forward) didn't help.

    Collingwood are a good side...

    Re: Round 16

    If we do sneak into 4th, who is the prefered opponent in the first week of finals. I'd just about prefer to face either Geelong or St Kilda. The Pies just have so much scoring power and have dismantled us twice this year.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
